Hi,
Here's my question: Do I need to add an extra module to a Nexus 5010 to support uplink ports or the 20 10Giga ports could be used to support aggregation and uplinks without concern?.....This is a simple doubt because the Nexus 2248 comes with uplinks colored in yellow, separated from access ports (for servers or hosts)...but the 5010 doesnt mention this uplinks.
Thanks for your help!

Hi
All ports on the 5000's can be used as either uplinks or fabric downlinks to FEX. The reason the 2248 has four ports at the end coloured yellow is that these four ports can only be used for fabric connections back to the 5K parent / parents. These are not switchports, but fabric ports only.
Hope this helps.
